Same weekend as Leeds festival I think....

I saw that and lens on eBay and um'd and arghed but after buying a k-5 and a 400mm 5.6 sigma with af my budget has been weakened and it look likes I will be upgrading to a mkii this month....

Can't wait to see some shots with it from you

Spectacle lens cleaner and lint free cloths from the poundshop.

Eyefu pro x2 already ordered, upload on the fly

It is at 2.00 am Sunday morning after shooting for 2 hours in the club and the client wants the images on Facebook before closing at 4.00am lol, I just want to go to bed.... Every second counts

Wasn't the sign stolen?

The last one conveys the awful feeling of what happened there.

I remove cards from k-5 all the time and never had an issue, I'm a nail biter too....

I prefer to upload using a high speed USB 3.0 card reader, far quicker than using a cable to body method...

This is better I think

For small venues a short zoom 16-50mm will be fine, watch out for stage clutter and background lights that might stray around the head area.

Don't be afraid to use flash. But avoid machine gunning which will annoy the crowd. Nifty fifties are good but if there is no light to play with then life will be difficult...
